Sorry to hear about your H4. If there's nothing wrong with the screw thread, I'm guessing it must have come off the tab on the top.
Which seems weird; mine are a 20 minute curse fest to get on or off every time. And I don't dare replace the rubber trim, as that's known to make it more difficult, until they compress...

Black car, 20 ft paint, bought black ring H4's in 2006 to replace H5's.
The ring had a thick, uneven coat of what looked like a matte primer. You could have wet-sanded it to painted body color - to do it right you'd have to disassemble completely, IMO. Kind of a pain. It looked nothing like the mocha brown H4 you show above.
Held out for 6 weeks before I bought the cover trim rings and got them painted; which as a bonus prevent water ingress through the screw adjusters... I also came to the conclusion in the interim that the side profile just didn't look right without the external trim ring.
IMHO, YMMV, etc.
